When you write, A-No-Ne,
We pay for license to use the software, not to ownI would note that when you purchased the most recent upgrade, the license you purchased specifically stated that you could install the software on two computers, as long as you used only one at a time. You cannot install on more than two computers at a time under the terms of the license.
the product. I am not asking to use more than one copy of Finale
simultaneously. To me, their license policy is the one hard to be justified.
Sounds to me that you did not read the license during the install process.
You have a couple of options here. When I last checked, a site license was priced at $85.00 per user, with a minimum of five users. If this is still true, at this rate, a site license would be cheaper than a second package. And if I understood correctly (and I may not have) each user at covered by the site license in permitted two installations, so you can have a total of ten, with five active. You still have to deal with the authorization / reauthorization scheme.
Otherwise, each upgrade is covered by a separate license (in my view, this was an alternative to trying to provide backwards write compatibility) so that you are permitted to run 2k4 and 2k5, and need not do them on the same two machines. Due to this, it seems to me that if you plan your workflow to take advantage of this, you could install 2k2 on one machine, 2k3 on another, 2k4 on two others, and 2k5 on still two others, for a total of six separate installations.
